In this segment we are so honored to feature the "Positive Legacy" on Jam Cruise 8, celebrating the founding of the new non-profit organization that supports interaction and giving to communities that Jam Cruise and Cloud 9 Adventures visit, as well as supporting the efforts of the Green Team that helps to reduce the carbon and environmental footprint of passengers travel. Making this segment come to life is the Everyone Orchestra conducted by Matt Butler, filmed on the last day of Jam Cruise 8 as a benefit to those passengers who contributed to the carbon offset program.
